Okay, I have been curious about the new commercial-free version of Hulu, which was long awaited and addresses a dealbreaker issue for those who have been spoiled by the commercial free nirvana that Netflix provided. For me, Hulu was always still on my list of resources because they would have things from cable on there the next day (if I wanted to see them that bad). Commerciuals were manageable, but still nothing was going to make me pay for Hulu if it still had commercials on the pay version.
Recently, Hulu created their commercial-free version. Same next-day availability, but the service is $11.99/month as opposed to $7.99/month from Netflix. Also to me it seems like the Hulu service and those behind it would be far more likely to obfuscate things and suddenly raise prices or do other cheesy shit that is beneath the Netflix folks. After all, Netflix set out to do what it is still doing today. Hulu has arrived here as the result of being beaten down by the competition and being forced to complete best they can.
So, here it begins:
If you already have an account, you need to log in and use it:
I chose PayPal. After going through Paypal and logging in, I was presented with the already familiar Hulu programming page. They have cleaned up the page and it presents a logical layout
Here is a snip of the Science Fiction section from the time of this post. They have Stargate on there, Childhood's End, and other interesting stuff lower down.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to see if it was easy to find the page to cancel this trial at the end of a week. I clicked my Account button, and there it is:
So, I will live with this for a week and comment along the way. If somebody is already subscribing to this, please feel free to comment! I have been taking a break from Netflix since December 2015 until there is something on there I really want to see. The selections seemed stale back then, and there has not been much change. Why not try Hulu?

Let's continue to explore....
right? couldn't think of a better descriptor!)

. Tell me this...if you saw somebody sitting on a couch and they cut a HUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE loud fart into the cushion that you could hear 10 feet away, and that person got up as you approached and the space left was the only place to sit....would you sit there? 
I am bothered that they are even there at all. It means I am paying for them still....
